A scream made me jerk upright in bed. It took all of five seconds to realize where I was—Cristiano’s bed—but he wasn’t beside me. The covers on his side were tossed back, and he was already pulling on his pajama pants as he rushed from the room.

The scream came again, high-pitched and terrified.

Ryan!

I jumped out of bed, hastily found my panties and leggings and fixed my shirt and bra as I rushed to comfort Ryan.

By the time I got to Ryan’s room, Cristiano had him in his arms, rocking him and murmuring to the little boy that he was safe. That he wouldn’t let anything hurt him. With the light now on, I saw Ryan clinging to his father’s neck, sweat soaking his clothes as his little body shook with fear.

I crossed to them, knelt behind Ryan, touching my hand to his damp back. He jerked at my soft touch, clinging tighter to his father, and he glanced at me over his shoulder. His face was pale, the terror in his eyes spiking for a moment before he recognized me. Then he was throwing his arms around me, his little legs going around my waist as his arms held on to me for dear life.

“I th-thought you were d-dead,” he sobbed, his face pressed into my shirt. “I thought sh-she k-killed you!”

My arms tightened around his back, my lips touching the top of his head. “Who, l’venok? Who?”

“M-M-Mommy.”

I closed my eyes, kissed him again. “Why would she kill me?”

“Because I love you,” he whispered brokenly. “Because I love you more than her.”

Tears burned my eyes, and I was thankful they were still closed. I didn’t want Cristiano to see how much his son’s words meant to me. I couldn’t let him see how much I needed those words.

Because if he did, he would know that I loved him just as much as I loved his son.
